Friends have bought tickets for the Macerata Opera and were wondering a) Is there a dress code (doubt it) and b) can anyone recommend a good place to park ? Apparently, tickets are available 1hr before the performance, not a lot of time to get sorted.......

We go every year (our anniversary, Christmas and Birthday treat) and there is parking signposted on the main road through around Macerata - just follow the signs for the Sferisterio Parking - it's past the new Oasi and the hospital and very well signposted and always plenty of spaces. We usually arrive at 6ish and pick up our tickets no problem - the performance starts at 9 and no dress code, people dress up or down, depending on how they feel, no problems. Hope they enjoy it...

There are pizzerias/restaurants in the lower plaza where the booking office is located where you can eat outside - we usually go to Ristorante-Pizzeria da Silvano which is about two thirds up the steps to the central plaza.
